The third day of the abandoned castle.
Tong Ling was awakened by the rapid knock on the door.
She opened her eyes sleepily, with a little irritability and displeasure in her tone, "Who is it, it's so noisy!"
The knocking on the door stopped immediately, and the voice of the young man outside the door was low and gentle, and his tone was full of happiness, "Lingling, are you all right?"
"What can I do?" Tong Ling hummed softly, "don't bother me."
Teenager: "…"
The boy paused and said, "Sorry, Lingling, can we meet?"
Tong Ling stayed in Arnold's room for most of the night last night. She didn't rest for a few hours after returning to her room. Now she just wants to have a good sleep and don't care about anything.
However, this is a dungeon of terror. People will come to find it at such a time. It seems that something has happened.
"Wait." Tong Ling was not in a hurry to go out, she changed into a new dress on the head of her bed. The ghost knows when Bei Bai put this new dress in, but Tong Ling didn't care at all, very Wear it easily.
She washed and took care of herself, then opened the door and looked out.
There was more than one person standing outside her door. It was Yuan Ju who knocked on the door. The young man was not wearing a hat, his hair was messy, and his brows were slightly frowned. When he saw her eyes brightened, a shallow smile appeared on his face. The young man's face is extremely pleasing to the eyes, which relieves Tong Ling, who is still feeling up early in the morning.
Next to Yuan Ju were Mu Bai and Zhuang Wu. Both of them looked very bad, and it was obvious that they had not rested much in this dungeon.
"What's the matter with you?" Tong Ling yawned, leaning against the door as if she had no bones.
Seeing NPC Lingling's lazy appearance, Mu Bai's eyes showed a bit of envy.
The cannon fodder NPC he thought would die at first, not only did nothing happen in this ancient castle, but also lived a good life.
Unlike their nervous players, the NPC Lingling eats and sleeps well, and dresses gorgeously, like the hostess in this ancient castle. Even they had to turn to her for help, should it be said that the dungeon arranged by the Lord God is too fucking, all this does not conform to common sense!
"Chu Yue is missing." Zhuang Wu rubbed his forehead, looking rather tired.
She and Chu Yue lived in the same room. After Li Yun died, they became more vigilant. Neither of them planned to sleep last night.
However, the accident didn't happen if she didn't want it. Zhuang Wu didn't know how to fall asleep at night. When she woke up, the Chu Yueren in the room was gone, and she couldn't go out to find someone in the middle of the night, so she stayed up until early in the morning. I searched upstairs and downstairs, and finally couldn't find the door of NPC Lingling.
"Lingling, I suspect that something has happened to Chu Yue." In fact, the word "suspect" can be removed. Zhuang Wu doesn't think that Chu Yue is still alive, but they must investigate, at least find the body first.
The clues may be hidden on the corpse, and as long as they are sure that Chu Yue is really dead, then they can let Lingling catch the "murderer" again.
"Missing?" Hearing Zhuang Wu say this, Tong Ling stood up straight.
"This old castle is so big, how can people still disappear?" Tong Ling looked at the three people in front of her, "Are you sure she is missing, didn't she run out by herself?"
"It's so rainy outside, she can't go out." Zhuang Wu didn't know whether Lingling was naive or heartless, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the castle until now, "What's more, Xiaoyue disappeared in the middle of the night, she doesn't Maybe she left my side without a word, someone must have forcibly taken her away!"
"Do you think someone sneaked into your room and took her away?" Tong Ling asked in a subtle tone.
Zhuang Wu nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Lingling, this is not something that can be done only by manpower. Don't you think the other 'people' around you are strange?"
Mu Bai followed closely and said, "Some people just died yesterday, and some people disappeared today. This ancient castle is too unsafe..."
Tong Ling just wanted to laugh. The players secretly rubbed eye drops on her, and it was really funny that they wanted to ask her for help.
"Where is it not safe?" Tong Ling said deliberately, "I have locked up the murderers. Isn't Chu Yue staying in the same room with you, Miss Zhuang? Didn't you hear the sound?"
Zhuang Wu suppressed his anxiety and put on a look of fear on his face, "It's scary if you don't hear the sound, who knows who 'he' will take away next?!"
There are "people" who can enter their rooms silently, so that they can't notice any difference, which is a terrifying horror story in itself! Zhuang Wu is not sure if she is the one who is taken away, whether she can resist...
"Then who do you think Chu Yue's disappearance is related to?" Tong Ling put her arms around her chest and said with a stern face, "Who are you suspecting?"
Doubt who? They suspect all NPCs except Lingling, especially Lingling's dog-licking ex-boyfriend Bei Bai! But can you say it? Just looking at Lingling's expression, Zhuang Wu knew that Lingling wouldn't believe it if he guessed.
Unlike Lingling, who saw the body with his own eyes yesterday and stood by them without hesitation to look for the murderer after being frightened, NPC Lingling didn't take Chu Yue's disappearance too seriously today.
After all, the relationship between their players and Lingling is not close enough. Compared with the others, Lingling cares more about those NPCs!
what should I do now? Mu Bai and Zhuang Wu looked at each other, and their eyes were a little solemn.
After two nights, their players have been reduced by two, and so far, they don't even know how the other party did it. As time goes on, the difficulty of the dungeon will become higher and higher, the monsters will become more and more unlimited, and their time is running out!
"I think we have to find Chu Yue first..." Mu Bai said with difficulty: "There are still some rooms in this ancient castle that we haven't found before..."
"Lingling, can you show us around?" Zhuang Wu asked in a soft tone.
"Why don't you check me first," Tong Ling took the initiative to move away from the door, indicating that a few people could enter and leave her room, "You can find anything, and clear the suspicion for me by the way."
Oops! They made Lingling misunderstand! Mu Bai hurriedly explained: "No no no, how could we check you, this matter must have nothing to do with you."
"Then whose room do you want to check? Bei Bai? Mia? I'll check, why should I trust you?"
Tong Ling turned her gaze to Yuan Ju, who didn't speak much, "what about you, are you here for this?"
The players' hearts sank, and Lingling's attitude made it clear that she was disgusted by their actions.
Since Lingling believed that Bei Bai was not the murderer, they should have known. This woman is a person who helps relatives and does not help, and does things according to her own preferences.
NPC Lingling is a human being, but she is also a human being rated as 3S level by the main god. This kind of person is a helper if you use it well, but if you don't use it well, they will hurt themselves.
"No." Yuan Ju said seriously: "I'm worried about you, I'm afraid you will disappear like Chu Yue."
Yuanju is not very good at coaxing people, and he has no experience in the aspect of feelings, but he knows that under such circumstances, he must not reveal any impure "purpose" for Lingling.
Just looking at the failed actions of Zhuang Wu and Mu Bai, it is clear that asking for help will only be counterproductive if the favorability is not enough.
To Lingling, they are only strangers who said a few more words, who would doubt the people close to them because of a few words of a stranger
Tong Ling's mouth curved up immediately, and Yuan Ju's eyes softened a little, "Well, I just thought you wanted me to help you find someone, which makes me feel like I'm being used as a tool by you."
Yuan Ju's face stiffened, and he lowered his eyes and said, "How come, I never thought about it like that."
"So your concern for me is not mixed with other ingredients?" Tong Ling blinked: "Do you have a crush on me?"
Yuanju: "..."
How Yuan Ju could answer, he could only say firmly: "Yes, I have a good impression of you..."
"When did you have a good impression? I didn't give it to me yesterday to thank me for my help, but to approach me for a reasonable reason?" Tong Ling continued to ask.
Yuanju blushed, not shy, but... embarrassed.
When has he ever been so nice to people? Even if it's acting, it's too embarrassing for him to admit it himself...
Seeing that Yuan Ju didn't answer, Tong Ling's face gradually turned cold, "It's hard for you to tell me if you like me? It seems that your feelings for me are just like that."
"No!" Yuanju knew that if he didn't express his "affection" properly, let alone controlling Lingling, he was afraid that the chance to get close to her would be gone, "I will treat you from the first time I see you. With a good impression, I did thank you yesterday, but more so that you… get to know me."
Mu Bai and Zhuang Wu: "..."
Good guy, their teammates are very good! It's like that to deceive people!
Tong Ling chuckled, "For your 'sincere' consideration for me, I want to find out Chu Yue too."
"Lest there be any danger lurking around us, don't you think?"
Mu Bai and Zhuang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yuan Ju with a little more gratitude and admiration.
NPC Lingling decided to help them out of Yuanju's face, and the handsome man's trick really worked!
Yuanju: "..."
Yuanju always has a feeling that he has sold his soul, this should not be his illusion.
"Abo, did you hear me? We need to find Chu Yue." Tong Ling said to the man who appeared behind the player.
Mu Bai and the others were startled. They didn't find out when Bei Bai appeared. How long has Bei Bai listened to, is he eyeing them
Yuanju turned around and looked over calmly.
The thin man was looking at him quietly with a pair of dark eyes. The man's appearance is clear and handsome, his temper is very gentle, and he doesn't seem to be aggressive at all. Yuan Ju, under Bei Bai's gaze, had a cold sweat dripping down his back.
It wasn't until the man turned his eyes to look at Tong Ling that the suffocation that seemed to be strangled by some terrifying creature in the dark quietly dissipated.
Yuan Ju's eyes sank. At first, he felt that this man did not feel good to him. After many survival games, Yuan Ju's perception of danger was not bad. The more "normal", "Ordinary" roles often bring people the biggest surprises.
This time his judgment was not wrong either, but... Bei Bai's danger seemed to be far beyond his expectations.
Mu Bai and Zhuang Wu retreated to the side subconsciously, Bei Bai passed by them and came to his girlfriend.
"Abo, you should be able to let people have a look at your room." Tong Ling made a decision without waiting for Bei Bai's approval, "I want to round up the room, if you hide others in the room, I will I'll ignore you again!"
Bei Bai's eyes turned around his girlfriend. She was wearing a dress he made for her, expressing her "possessive desire" for him coquettishly. How could Bei Bai be angry? She wanted to check that he would open it up to her, and he would prove to her that apart from her, there wouldn't be anyone who shouldn't exist in his room.
Bei Bai took his girlfriend's hand and brought someone to the front of his room. He opened the door and said, "Lingling, I won't hide people."
"You can check my room at any time."
"It's about the same." Tong Ling strode into Bei Bai's room and waved to the players, "Come on, if you have any places you haven't looked for, let's look for them!"
Player: "… "
This, is this too casual
Facts have proved that anything in the hands of NPC Lingling will become very easy.
Bei Bai's room was very clean and clean at first glance. His mattress was not even wrinkled, as if no one slept on it.
Tong Ling strolled around the room, flipped through the cabinet, and looked at the bottom of the bed, but found nothing in the end.
Mu Bai and the others didn't find anything, and they didn't know whether they were disappointed or helpless, but before they were depressed, Lingling said again: "Next, who do you want to check?"
"Miya." Zhuang Wu said, "I think a man took her away."
Tong Ling: "Okay, then go see him."
Mia's room is at the darkest corner on the second floor. As soon as Tong Ling walked to Mia's door, the red-haired boy opened the door automatically.
Miya's condition is much better than yesterday, with red lips and white teeth, delicate and beautiful, he didn't share the extra eyes with others, and looked at Tong Ling with a pair of eyes, "Why did you bring this group of people here?"
"Do you know that someone is missing?" Tong Ling asked.
Mia sighed, "What does this have to do with me?"
"We're going to check all the rooms in the castle." Tong Ling motioned for Miya to let go, "You are no exception."
Mia's face suddenly turned cold, "You doubt me?"
"The missing person is Chu Yue, a cute-looking girl who is very interested in you." Tong Ling added.
"I don't care who she is, I have no interest in her."
In fact, Mia didn't care about those humans at all. What he cared about was... "Do you think her disappearance has something to do with me?"
Tong Ling didn't answer.
"Fuck!" Miya jumped in anger, "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, Abo asked me to check it just now. Can't you show us your room?" Tong Ling urged: "Hurry up and let me. After the check, I have to go to rest. I'm sleepy."
"Maybe it's a guilty conscience." Bei Bai suddenly said, "Maybe there are some shady things hidden in his room."
"Who has a guilty conscience!" Mi Ya was instantly enraged, he gave Bei Bai a vicious look, "I can check if you want, I only let Lingling in, and the rest of you are waiting outside!"
